You can see little things, they are just little things. He needs to step up a bit quicker.

youre nuts. UCF lost to a bad utep team by something like 50 last week. no, there are no moral victories when you play cusa competition and dont execute.

Baylors QB seems to be improving week to week.

And actually go through a progression - he's watching his receiver 4/5 times, start to finish.

He is definitely improving. Not one, not a single interception was thrown to a defensive linemen. that is progress.

Actually, I think BLM was done a terrible injustice. Freshman QBs suffer. We have seen it at SMU and at other schools. To place a Freshman in a position as critical as QB is really a disservice to the kid. The game is more complex, faster and more intimidating.

If BLM survives this mental disaster know as his freshman year, he could well turn into a great QB. JJ would have been better to bring him along slowly. Of course I am not paid to coach so JJ knows best.


of course it was a disservice and very predicatable. in fact, predicted by many. jj whiffed on craft and others, didnt want willis, and felt loyalty to blm for switching his commitment. So now we have a train wreck basically. the kid doesnt have it. at least not now. he is perhaps the classic case of a kid needing physical development and maturity to play qb in d-1. when someone lays a finger on blm he stumbles and falls down.

There were several plays he looked off of Robinson until the last minute. The problem is it"s too infrequent. There are glimpses of encouragement but infrequent again. He looked better than CF freshman.

I have been extremely critical of BLM this year. The year is lost, let's see if we can get him ready for next year.

We successfully solidified our 119 ranking in rushing by further lowering our yards per game average. At least we lead the nation in some statistic.
